Hi Guys,
I'm currently about to spend a good amount on a workstation system.
Price $4000 - $5000
I'm an experienced 3D animator, Motion graphics artist, generalist, etc.
We have a nice sized green screen that we've created at our collective artist warehouse.
I am amped to get things on the road with an LLC we're forming, have a slew of grassroots clients to cater on our initial efforts.
The PRIME purpose of this workstation would be for LIVE motion reading / capture / motion transfer to high detail characters during high quality live display (through projection mapping) with quality shading, high res, texured, detailed automated pro caliber performance based CG pupeteering.
Secondary, an initially most often used, would be extensive use of MAYA, ZBrush, After Effects, Premiere, Nuke etc..
I'm very interested in getting the best performance of my monitor's refresh rate at the highest resolution possible.
I've researched the past 5 months heavily into the 4K factor, tech specs, product releases etc around that topic, and am very interested in the new DisplayPort 1.3 release.
Question is, should I wait till Graphics boards are released supporting that entirely, then buy, or get something a notch down, and upgrade, then sell my initially bought card model?
most best high-end CPU for my purposes...
proper RAM expandability, (want a minimum of 64 gigs) so further than that potentially...
Boot Drive, SSDs... pro mobo... cooling.. overclocking...
BADASS GPUs
if this can be done in a rack mount, all the better.
So many things to figure out when so many new models are poised for production... Just don't want to make this build, then regret not holding out on certain elements that would keep me behind later in the game.
This is a ONE TIME DEAL. My investor is situating our finances at a certain time.
Post-holidays bargain prospects have wetted my pallet, yet I need to get the show on the road regarding having this workstation up and running within a month...
So please,
anyone out there with the creativity, knowledge and interest...
please suggest some ultra-high-end workstation build scenarios for me.
Help me tom's-forum-peoples-kenobi.
yous me only hopes.
